our typical squad of players at the end of the contract
The summer transfer window opens these doors this Sunday 1um January 2023. For the occasion, the Figaro sports department gives you its eleven players whose contracts are about to expire.
The goalkeeper
Our choice fell to the goalkeeper David of Gaea (32 years old). Despite Manchester United’s mixed results, the Spanish goalkeeper generally had a strong first half of the season, making magnificent and decisive saves and keeping five clean sheets in fourteen Premier League games. His contract provides for an optional extra year but Erik ten Hag does not necessarily want to keep him. He could thus change the air this summer. If that were to be the case, there is no doubt that there will be no shortage of suitors.
The defenders
Our rearguard has four elements. In the axis, we have opted for a hinge made up ofEvan Ndicka (23 years old) e Milan Skriniar (27 years old). Sparkling with Eintracht Frankfurt for several seasons, the Frenchman is not expected to last forever in the Bundesliga. He would be followed by several big European clubs and by the British press – the Daily Express – the announcement also very close to Arsenal. The Slovak, for his part, would still be in the Paris bulletins SG who could go on the offensive at the beginning of the year to secure his services, either this winter for a tidy sum, or this summer. However, Inter would not part with their captain and should take action to extend it.

On the left side of defense we selected Raphael Guerreiro (29 years old). The Portuguese will hardly continue his adventure at Borussia Dortmund once his contract has expired. And SL Benfica would consider him to replace Alex Grimaldo who should leave the Eagles this summer, according to information from journalist Rudy Galetti. On the right we find a player of FC Barcelona: Sergius Robert (30 years). Somewhat struggling in Catalonia, the Spaniard is not certain he will be offered a new extension by the end of the 2022-2023 financial year and may now be looking for a base for next season.

Midfielders
N’Golo Kante (31 years old) is in our midfield, in a sentry position. The Frenchman, still injured, could very well leave Chelsea this summer after seven years of good and faithful service. He announces himself close to Barcelona with which he would like, second Sport , signs a pre-contract in January. The 2018 World Champion is accompanied by two quality torch bearers: Luca Modric (37 years old) e Ilkay Gundogan (32 years old). The Croatian, still as good with Real Madrid as he is with Croatia despite the weight of the years, could very well extend his contract with the White House once again. The German, on the other hand, could be tempted to move to Barcelona which has been keeping an eye on him for several weeks, as revealed Sport.

attackers
The offense of our typical squad of free players is enough to make your mouth water. Backing up the two forwards, we have the recent world championLionel Messi (35 years). At the end of the contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the seven-time Ballon d’Or player should probably extend by one season, according to the revelations revealed by The Parisian. But beware, in football, turnarounds are legion. At the forefront we find a French duo composed of Karim Benzema (35 years old) eOlivier Giroud (36 years old). Nothing indicates that the latest Ballon d’Or player wants to change his mind next summer; he should continue at least one more season at Real Madrid. To the delight of the Merengues. The 2018 world champion is also expected to extend his contract. The Sports Gazette it even indicated in late October that its extension could take place in the first weeks of 2023.
